Extranjeristas
What is the Golden Visa?
The Golden Visa is a Residence permit that grants non-European Union citizens the ability to live and invest in Spain. It was established by Law 14/2013 to encourage foreign investment and to internationalize Spanish companies. The program offers numerous advantages, including a one- to two-year residency permit that could be extended up to five years, and the possibility to live and work legally in Spain.
There are three types of Gold Visa: financial (for which it is necessary to invest at least 1 million euros), real estate acquisition (whose minimum amount is 500,000 euros), and business project (for which a favorable report must be obtained before applying for it).
An important and remarkable feature of this residence permit is that it can be extended to your immediate family, including you children and wife. Thus, it is possible to relocate with family.
The Golden Visa offers flexibility to the applicant, as they are not required to live in Spain permanently. They can travel freely while being a resident in Spain and other Countries.
Investing in the country is the best option for foreigners who wish to access a Spanish visa and live legally and safely in Spain.
